Does my hen have fowl pox?

Difficult to say with any certainty.
I would say possibly yes, but it's mild and if it is fowl pox.
The two black spots at the back of her comb in the first picture look more like peck damage or she's caught her comb on something.
The damage on the front of the comb in the second picture looks more like posible fowl pox but it could also be scabbing from an injury.

The pics aren't great but there are white dots on her comb and wattles and that one scab on her comb. it's been one thing after another lately. Respite illness, it's rainy season so everything is wet and muddy, something has been attacking and killing my chickens, I have one that's either hurt or depressed but I can't tell which one. Ugh

I'm with Shad. It does not definitively look like fowl pox, and I have a lean towards no. If it is, it is not much to worry about.
I add poultry vitamins to their water 3x per week, also freshen waters every day. Cut out snacks, you want your chickens optimum to help them through the stress of illness. I have never lost a chook to FP and all of my chickens have had.
I also stay as stress free as possible. What's going on with the predator? A much bigger concern for them and you. Sorry you are having so much trouble at the moment. It happens to us all ♡. Do a good coop and run check and button up holes. Have you considered cameras? Amazon is about to have one of their sales. I have Blink as it is wireless and i can instal easily, move when and where i want and it is also pretty affordable on sale.

Those light spots on her comb and wattles do look like the way fowl pox can look at first. The beige lesions can either become swollen or more often turn into a brown scab. Fowl pox is a virus spread by mosquitoes that usually lasts about a month. Do any other chickens have those spots? Here is a picture that shows early pox:

Yes we have a camera by the coop, they've been getting attacked while they free range during the day

She's the only one that has them so far. My rooster has some black spots but I think it's from fighting with the neighbor rooster bc it looks more like dried blood... should I separate her from the rest of the flock?

No, I would leave her with the others. We have raccoons, possums, hawks, foxes, and coyotes around here, all of which will kill chickens. A bobcat came in mid-afternoon and killed 3 chickens out in a field a couple of years back. The survivor was inside the coop, so wasn’t seen. A game camera is a good idea. Setting out a baited raccoon trap at night would also tell you if you have raccoons or other small animals hanging around.

Thank you, I think I will do that! I am so tired of losing all my babies
